I can agree with this. I don't often buy Southern Tier (which I should, because it's local-ish), but you really can't beat Choklat. I'd say it's their best, though I'd put Unearthly right up there and Oat not far behind.

That was suppose to say "spoiled" I was really surprised how good Oat was. Need to get some more of that.

[Sebowski]

Doggie Claws. Eh.

 

[Cunk]

Hookers octoberfest. Awful. Must be bad batch or something. Tasted like cider and vinegar. Couldn't even drink it even with the only other option being landshark.

Looking to buy the following for the next week or so:

Jubelale

I think I'm the only person on earth who doesn't love Great Lakes Christmas. It's a little too spicy for my liking...it'll sneak up on you too, their ABV is known to be underreported on that one. The ABV was listed at 7.5% a few years back and the actual ABV was closer to 10%, per the people at the brewery. Just a warning...I've never had the others....we don't get Deschutes here and our Avery selection is limited.

My neighbor gave me the 2 bottles I have but I did see some listed on Ebay.

I actually just bought a bottle of this just this morning. One of my local stores had 3 or 4 4-packs behind the counter in their special case. They had the Pearl Jame special release too, but I didn't get one of those.

GLB is solid. I like this years better than years past (not as spicy). Some of the snobs don't like it as much. They brewed more this year...you can actually still find it on the shelves locally.

 

[Fantasy_Freak]

Surly Furious for starters

 

[Bobcat10]

Fort Collins Brewery - Double Chocolate Stout

Dogfish Head - Faithfull Ale

Both really good imo.

 

[jamny]

Cracked open the first bottle of the holiday weekend...

Fire Island Beer Company Frozen Tail Ale

also have a six of Smuttynose Winter Ale

 

[CletiusMaximus]

New Glarus Black Top black IPA. Fantasy Freak, has Central Waters released their stouts yet (ie Brewhouse Coffee Stout)? Gonna be in the Northwoods for Christmas and was hoping to grab a bunch of these. I guess I can settle for Black Top if not.

Haven't seen the Brewhouse, but the Bourbon Barrel Stout was released. The Kosmyc Barleywine was released as well as Exodus (you would be lucky to find this, everything from what I heard has sold out immediately). The Bourbon Barrel Stout might be around still, my store I hit had 4 cases I purchased one 4 pack and 2 4 packs of Kosmyc Charlie. Not sure what part of Wisconsin you owuld be driving through (94 or 90). But if you take 94 you should not have a problem finding the Stout in the Milwaukee area. LEt me know and I can direct you to my store a little off 94 but they should have some left.

Discount Liquor in Milwaukee still has several cases of the Bourbon Barrel Stout, but none of the other December releases. I think the BB Barleywine and Peruvian Morning come in January.Last night - Founder's BK Stout, Alaskan Smoked Porter, Left Hand Biere de Guard and MKE Brewing Co's Godzilla Imperial Wit, all on tap at the Bombshelter.

[shadyridr]

you have some good stuff to get in NY. Your first purchase should be Flower Power IPA by Ithaca Brewing Co. It's the best!Also try: Smuttynose IPA Blue Point Hoptical IllusionSix Point Bengali Tiger IPA

 

[Gambino]

Just picked up 2 growlers: Red Hare Battleship Brown and some Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale from Monday Night Brewing.

Life is good

I hate the bitter hops you like. But it's cool because there's a world of malty smooth but still big flavored bold beers our there. Barleywines have a big alcohol content and along with Scotch and Belgium Ales are my go tos. I bought a couple Stone Old Guardian Barleywines tonight. Ugh. Massive signature Stone bitter hops. You will love this disgusting swill.

Bell's 2 Hearted is the gold standard.

2 Hearted, Pliny, and Racer 5 are 3 of the best I've ever had. I also like Surly Furious (only available in MN) and Ithaca Flower Power as two of my other favorites. Lagunitas Hop Stoopid never fails to impress me either for 22 oz bottles. Also, Sierra Nevada Celebration is one of the best seasonal IPAs and it's out now. I've been working on a growler since yesterday.Keep an eye out for Troegs Nugget Nectar, it's probably going to be released soon, it's usually a January thing. Might be my favorite beer on the planet. Perhaps it's not quite an IPA, more like a really-hopped-up amber, but it's just awesome.

Let me know what you think about the Weyerbacher Sixteen, too...it's interesting, to say the least.

What do I need to drink fresh? already had the Righteous and now plowing through the porter.Thanks again.

 

[Steve Tasker]

What are you fellas breaking out over the weekend? Christmas night isn't a big drinking night for me as I have to drive, but tomorrow sets up perfectly....I think I'm going to go with - Mikkeller Barrel-Aged Black Hole (Cognac Barrel), Russian River Damnation Batch 23 - courtesy of Sebowski, and either (or both) Lagunitas Sucks or Founders Breakfast Stout.

 

[urbanhack]

i need to get some lagunitas sucks. I haven't seen it in my casual searches at the store, so I guess I need to get serious about it.

I'll be cracking a Big Hugs from Half Acre and some fresh Founder's IPAs.

I would probably drink the Ithaca 13 sometime soon. I don't think that'll age well. Jack D'Or is just a damn good saison. Sled Dog and Weyerbacher 16 will hold for as long as you want, I think.

Yeah I didn't know much about Lagunitas Sucks other than seeing a lot of talk about it. I gotta say though, it's pretty good, especially for the price....it was like $10 for a 6-pack of it (like all of their other stuff). Lagunitas never disappoints.

 

[Sebowski]

LongTrail Imperial PorterTasker> hey

Just had that last time I was out East and loved it.

I've been doing an Eclipse variation a night until I hit all 7. Trying to plow through everything I have in general. Have way too much right now. I'm going to crack the Gorges you sent me and the Ithaca 13 also. Probably pour a Black Tuesday for everyone that comes over for my chili cook off. Want to take down a Madame Rose and Juliet this weekend as well.

 

[cosjobs]

Also got my hands on Fresh Hop Mirror Pond from Deschutes. Very similar to the Northern and Southern Hemisphere Harvest issues from Sierra Nevada, which in a word is -- awesome.

Found this tonight in Austin. Good stuff. Is it seasonal? What's the alcohol? Its 5% here, sometime texas makes beer lower their alcohol to sell here, but since this is labled as Ale, it may not apply.

I have some Victory Storm King Stout, Short's Good Humans, and Jolly Pumpkin Dark Dawn Stout that will tapped this weekend for sure.
